Today, I cooked Quinoa for the first time. It was an act of faith. People who praised Quinoa, that I knew, are veggie eaters or worse, vegans. Can anything good come out of a veggie food? I admit, I am narrow-minded. I am a Catholic priest. What else did you expect? Anyhow, I decided to trust my veggie friends and make a leap of faith. I had chocolate/chocolate chip ice cream near by just in case. I followed directions on the Quinoa package. When cooked the Quinoa looked, well, uninteresting. I thought of going direct to ice cream. I said grace and tasted the Quinoa. Surprise! It tasted very good. Plus it is full of nutrients. The ice cream is still in the freezer. Faith can be a good thing. Believe and eat Quinoa. I have found God pretty nourishing too.

ReplyDeleteTo make it even better the next time, chop up a little onion, garlic, and/or shredded carrot and cook them with the quinoa. Happy cooking! It would be like adding Fr. Terry's blog to one's daily reading!
